Broke the 10bolt for the 4th time 
well raced friday night at the track got my best time of 12.98 and today i was leaving a freidns then snap shes gone again .goin to need new bearings i belive not looked into it yet..but what are good option for a new stronger rear.i drive everyday rain snow sleet shine it dosent mater this is my only transportation for now..id like to update it with something stronger like maybe a 9inch or 12 bolt but what do you guys think will suite me better .future mods will be heads and cam ..also were is some good places to get a good rear at and how much did you guys spend on yours so i can get a idea on how much i need to take out of the bank to get me back on the road..also id like to have a direct replacement just bolt in and go thanks There's a big difference between an auto and a manual. Manuals with sticky tires eat 10 bolts. There is more than enough proof on here to show it's a bad combo.
Get a Ford 9 inch with a Trutrac and be done with it.

set up is key.............you can be ase certifeid in many different ways is he certified in drivetrain? i go 12.30 with 1.70 60ft with a motor that makes about 430hp and 27 x 11.50 hoosier quick time pro's. i launch at around 2600 and race every friday night about 4-6 passes a night and drive to and from the track
+1 backlash, pinion depth, and good bearing and locktite go a long ways.
invest on a cover if you dont have one.
